Effect

Held in battle

Holder's damaging moves have a 10% chance to make their target flinch. This chance applies independently to each hit of a multi-hit move.

This item's chance is rolled independently of any other move effects; e.g., a move with a 30% chance to flinch normally will have a 37% total chance to flinch when used with this item, because 3% of the time, both effects activate.

Held by Poliwhirl or Slowbro

Holder evolves into Politoed or Slowking, respectively, when traded.

Special move effects

Target will flinch if it has not yet gone this turn.
